Abstract

Herein, the first lead tellurium borate, PbTeB₄O₉, with an unprecedented fundamental building block [B₄O₁₀] was successfully synthesized. The near-parallel alignment of [B₄O₁₀] groups and [TeO₃] polyhedra resulted in a high birefringence (0.099@1064 nm). The structure–property relationship was discussed by using the first-principles calculations.
